  • The emergence of early childhood education outdoor programs in British Columbia

    Hartley Banack, Iris BergerARTICLEChildren s Geographies2019Referencias: 7

    This paper explores the emergence of early childhood education outdoor programs in British Columbia, Canada. The story told follows paths not dissimilar from how one might observe children on a walk to the park. While the park is the destination, it is the journey to the park, of picking up pebbles, looking at flowers, and finding sticks, that enlivens and binds the journey. Through our consideration of stories from a number of outdoor programs, …

    Previous literature on women's representation in the Ugandan Parliament painted a grim picture of women exploited by political leaders, and brought into Parliament and other political spaces by a benevolent dictator who allowed their entry to extend and deepen his political networks. These women were expected to accept a subordinate and inferior place, and to defer to male authority. Female members cooperated dutifully by 'knowing their place' an…

    During a turbulent colonial and postcolonial century, African women struggled to control their own marital, sexual and economic lives and to gain a significant voice in local and national politics.

  • Marxists or Fashionable Ladies? Gender, Identity and Working-Class History

    Iris BergerCHAPTERComparative Perspectives on South…1998

    A condescending description of African garment workers in South Africa during the 1950s unintentionally highlights the complex issues of identity that have come to fascinate many historians.

Many of these women come in touch with Marxist ideas, and are habitua…
